Quote by: Piscean  I see a similar picture of human kind. Everything used to have meaning, life, purpose, the world around us was alive and we were a part of it. Now it's dead as is the awareness of most. We've traded purpose and life for pure function and production and in losing our connection with the earth and the spirits which govern in it, we've lost our way, as destroy the planet, (with our artificial replacement for everything alive) we destroy ourselves.Unless we manage to wipe ourselves and our technology and ways from the earth which seems likely to have happened in history before. |
This is sort of what I mean about supernaturalists and their very bad philosophy skills.
If you knew certain things, you wouldn't think the way you do.
Humans create their own meaning, life, and purpose. The universe does not provide us with a set of instructions written out for us.
Life evolved through pure function just like everything else in this universe has. Everything is built upon everything. The universe is a giant complex evolving machine. The most organic natural substance within this universe is built like a modern day machine.
To continue living on this earth, an organism must avoid the many obstacles that it faces. Pollution is an obstacle that we must face, and I have no doubts that humans will solve it.
Souls never existed on this earth. They were imagined up by primitive minds to answer the very first questiona conscious beings started asking.
